Root I loaded a new rom but lost all my apps and messages

[devo52]

I flashed the vipor rom for my epic and i would like to know if there is a way to get all the apps and messages and email setups i had back please help

Did you backup before installing the new ROM? After I rooted I installed Titanium Backup and backed everything up... it was as easy as re-installing Titanium and then restoring everything.

i did backup in clockworkrecovery so what do i do to recover i thought if i restored back up i would lose new rom

Uhhh... better ask kelmar.

Backing up in clockworkmod backs up your ROM...not all of your apps and data. To backup all of your apps and data, you need Titanium backup Pro. The Pro version allows you to do a "batch" backup and then it allows you to do a "batch" restore. It basically restores your phone to EXACTLY how it was before you wiped everything. A nandroid backup and backing up apps and data are two totally different things. One is a must for flashing ROMs....the other is just convenience. Ti Backup pro is a nice luxury that costs about 6 bucks....VERY well worth it if you are gonna mess with this rooting stuff.

The issues are due to the way the ROM is set up (2.1 vs 2.2, etc) which is why I prefer to set each up myself.

Viper Rom is fine. Personally I prefer Quantum 1.5 though.

So, to clarify, you are currently on one of the DK17 leaks including the modem that you had to do with Odin, correct?

 

[devo52]

[Kelmar]

Hang on... I gave you the wrong link.... sorry, threads are getting confusing!

You wanted Quantum 1.5

so i flashed the quantum rom and it is excellent so far I only see one issue and it might not be an issue it might just be a setting but when i type on the android keyboard it would offer me an option for the best word that fits for what im typing on this rom i only get the options if it is in my phone book. Is there something i need to upload to fix
